Since graduating from Turps Banana Charlie Hawksfield has been working on a series of experimental A4 monoprints. These monoprints will form an artist book for release in Spring. In Jan 2021 Charlie started using the mono printing techniques on a series of canvases. To look like flags or medieval banners, they were on stitched canvas loops from wooden batons like battle standards.
